Grapefruit Patina and Micarta Dye Job

[kneedragger650]

Nice job! I have a full tutorial with pics on a 6 and a swamprat swamp warden to post when I get time. Did you see the pics of my 4 in my thread?

Sometimes you have to fill in gaps with grapefruit pulp to make it more even, also try to make the slices the exact same thickness. The cool thing is just re steel wool it and try again if you dont like the pattern. I promiss I will get the tutorial up this weekend.

Still waiting to see how that 6 turned out!

To the op... Nice job!

To some extent, yes it will, though not as well as a finish like the original powder coat.

Thanks. Maybe I'll do this after I lose a little more of the original finish on my 5.
